Abstract:

With the development of science and technology, electronic equipments are widely applied in society. Electronic equipments make life more convenient and efficient. However, a variety of harmful electromagnetic radiation is generated when the electronic equipment is working. The electromagnetic radiation not only affects the normal operation of other electronic device but also pollutes the environment survival for human. Furthermore, electromagnetic radiation is harm to human. Therefore, it is important to take measures to prevent various electromagnetic radiations. Firstly this paper introduces relevant knowledge of electromagnetic radiation and standards on electromagnetic radiation. Then, it analyses the biological effect of electromagnetic radiations according to the radiation distribution of cell-phone. Finally, it proposes protective measures based on the study of the biological effect.

Abstract:

Mankind has come to a peculiar and very important interaction with the environment. To the existing electricity and magnetic fields of the Earth, atmospheric electricity, radio emissions of the Sun and the Galaxy, electromagnetic radiation (EMR) of artificial origin was added. Biologically significant are the 50 Hz electric fields generated by overhead lines and substations. Genetic effects of EMR in Biosystems are established: induction of various genetic disorders at one modes of influence and modification of gene expression at others.

Abstract:

SynopsisThis paper presents a chemist's view of the action of ionising radiation on matter with a range of simple examples. Attention is given to the ways in which electron spin resonance spectroscopy (which is described briefly) can be harnessed to give useful information about the initial stages of radiation damage. The effects of radiation are generally indiscriminate and hence damage to water is of special importance in biological systems. Water-derived free radicals will attack biomolecules (the indirect effect) and this mechanism is compared with direct damage events. Also, examples are given of some remarkably discriminate radiation-induced reactions.Specific attention is given to radiation-induced damage to proteins, and especially to aqueous DNA and DNA in chromatin and in cells. The importance of DNA strand-breaks is discussed in relation to both the production of mutations and cell death.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTResveratrol is a phytoalexin, a phenolic compound present in wines and several plants. This compound is related to a broad spectrum of biological activities such as antioxidant and anticarcinogenic effects that are very important in prevention of cancer, cardiovascular diseases and other diseases caused by oxidative processes. Over the last years, biological effects of ionizing radiation in the presence of resveratrol have been studied in different cell cultures. The aim of this study was to verify the effect of gamma radiation on mouse connective tissue cells (NCTC clone 929) in culture in the presence of trans-resveratrol. Cell viabilities were analyzed by neutral red uptake assay. The results demonstrated in vitro the radioprotective effect of trans-resveratrol on cell culture and it was more pronounced when cell culture was irradiated at 500-800 Gy doses in the presence of resveratrol concentrations between 12.5 and 25 μM. These results provide evidence that trans-resveratrol alters the cellular response to ionizing radiation, expanding the knowledge of resveratrol biological properties in physiological and pathological processes, contributing to the development of future studies about the possibility of including resveratrol and its derivatives in dietary supplements given to cancer patients during radiotherapy.

Abstract:

The direct and indirect ionizing radiation sources for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT)are identi?ed. The mechanisms of physical, chemical and biological radiation interactions for BNCT are systematically described and analyzed. The relationship between the effect of biological radiation and radiation dose are illustrated and analyzed for BNCT. If the DNAs in chromosomes are damaged by ion- izing radiations, the instructions that control the cell function and reproduction are also damaged. This radiation damage may be reparable, irreparable, or incorrectly repaired. The irreparable damage can result in cell death at next mitosis while incorrectly repaired damage can result in mutation. Cell death leads to variable degrees of tissue dysfunction, which can affect the whole organism’s functions. Can- cer cells cannot live without oxygen and nutrients via the blood supply. A cancer tumor can be shrunk by damaging angiogenic factors and/or capillaries via ionizing radiations to decrease blood supply into the cancer tumor. The collisions between ionizing radiations and the target nuclei and the absorption of the ultraviolet, visible light, infrared and microwaves from bremsstrahlung in the tumor can heat up and damage cancer cells and function as thermotherapy. The cancer cells are more chemically and biologically sensitive at the BNCT-induced higher temperatures since free-radical-induced chemical re- actions are more random and vigorous at higher temperatures after irradiation, and consequently the cancer cells are harder to divide or even survive due to more cell DNA damage. BNCT is demonstrated via a recent clinical trial that it is quite effective in treating recurrent nasopharyngeal cancer.

Abstract:

Ionizing radiation (IR) is considered a traditional mutagen and genotoxic agent. Exposure to IR affects in all cases biological systems and living organisms from plants to humans mostly in a pernicious way. At low (<0.1 Gy) and low-to-medium doses (0.1–1 Gy), one can find in the literature a variety of findings indicating sometimes a positive-like anti-inflammatory effect or detrimental-like toxicity. In this Special Issue and in general in the current research, we would like to acquire works and more knowledge on the role(s) of DNA damage and its repair induced by ionizing radiations as instigators of the full range of biological responses to radiation. Emphasis should be given to advances offering mechanistic insights into the ability of radiations with different qualities to severely impact cells or tissues. High-quality research or review studies on different species projected to humans are welcome. Technical advances reporting on the methodologies to accurately measure DNA or other types of biological damage must be highly considered for the near future in our research community, as well. Last but not least, clinical trials or protocols with improvements to radiation therapy and radiation protection are also included in our vision for the advancement of research regarding biological effects of IR.

Abstract:

Knowledge regarding complex radiation responses in biological systems can be enhanced using genetically amenable model organisms. In this manuscript, we reviewed the use of the nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), as a model organism to investigate radiation’s biological effects. Diverse types of experiments were conducted on C. elegans, using acute and chronic exposure to different ionizing radiation types, and to assess various biological responses. These responses differed based on the type and dose of radiation and the chemical substances in which the worms were grown or maintained. A few studies compared responses to various radiation types and doses as well as other environmental exposures. Therefore, this paper focused on the effect of irradiation on C. elegans, based on the intensity of the radiation dose and the length of exposure and ways to decrease the effects of ionizing radiation. Moreover, we discussed several studies showing that dietary components such as vitamin A, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and polyphenol-rich food source may promote the resistance of C. elegans to ionizing radiation and increase their life span after irradiation.

Abstract:

In its 1990 recommendations, the ICRP considered the radiation risks after exposure during prenatal development. This report is a critical review of new experimental animal data on biological effects and evaluations of human studies after prenatal radiation published since the 1990 recommendations. Thus, the report discusses the effects after radiation exposure during pre-implantation, organogenesis, and fetogenesis. The aetiology of long-term effects on brain development is discussed, as well as evidence from studies in man on the effects of in-utero radiation exposure on neurological and mental processes. Animal studies of carcinogenic risk from in-utero radiation and the epidemiology of childhood cancer are discussed, and the carcinogenic risk to man from in-utero radiation is assessed. Open questions and needs for future research are elaborated. The report reiterates that the mammalian embryo and fetus are highly radiosensitive. The nature and sensitivity of induced biological effects depend upon dose and developmental stage at irradiation. The various effects, as studied in experimental systems and in man, are discussed in detail. It is concluded that the findings in the report strengthen and supplement the 1990 recommendations of the ICRP.

Abstract:

Atomic and radiological crises can be caused by accidents, military activities, terrorist assaults involving atomic installations, the explosion of nuclear devices, or the utilization of concealed radiation exposure devices. Direct damage is caused when radiation interacts directly with cellular components. Indirect effects are mainly caused by the generation of reactive oxygen species due to radiolysis of water molecules. Acute and persistent oxidative stress associates to radiation-induced biological damages. Biological impacts of atomic radiation exposure can be deterministic (in a period range a posteriori of the event and because of destructive tissue/organ harm) or stochastic (irregular, for example cell mutation related pathologies and heritable infections). Potential countermeasures according to a specific scenario require considering basic issues, e.g., the type of radiation, people directly affected and first responders, range of doses received and whether the exposure or contamination has affected the total body or is partial. This review focuses on available medical countermeasures (radioprotectors, radiomitigators, radionuclide scavengers), biodosimetry (biological and biophysical techniques that can be quantitatively correlated with the magnitude of the radiation dose received), and strategies to implement the response to an accidental radiation exposure. In the case of large-scale atomic or radiological events, the most ideal choice for triage, dose assessment and victim classification, is the utilization of global biodosimetry networks, in combination with the automation of strategies based on modular platforms.

Abstract:

Space exploration poses health hazards to the crews of manned missions. Exposure to cosmic radiation and loss of bone density are considered the two most important risk factors for long-term missions. Stochastic risk deriving from cosmic radiation exposure can be estimated by physical dosimeters, using appropriate conversion factors. Recent measurements of space radiation fluence and energy spectra will improve current estimates. Biological dosimetry can be used as a tool to determine the risk directly from biological damage. Chromosomal aberrations in astronauts' peripheral blood lymphocytes have been used as a biomarker of cancer risk. In this paper we will also discuss countermeasures to radiation damage, focusing on the problem of shielding in space.

Abstract:

Abstract The dramatic rise in diagnostic procedures, radioisotope-based scans and intervention procedures has created a very valid concern regarding the long-term biological consequences from exposure to low doses of ionizing radiation. Despite its unambiguous medical benefits, additional knowledge on the health outcome of its use is essential. This review summarizes the available information regarding the biological consequences of low-dose radiation (LDR) exposure in humans (e.g. cytogenetic changes, cancer risk and radiation-induced cataracts. However, LDR studies remain relatively new and thus an encompassing view of its biological effects and relevant mechanisms in the human body is still needed.

Abstract:

For protection purposes, the biological effects of radiation are separated into stochastic effects (cancer, hereditary effects) presumed to be unicellular in origin, and tissue reactions due to injury in populations of cells. The latter are deterministic effects, renamed ‘tissue reactions’ in the 2007 Recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection because of the increasing evidence of the ability to modify responses after irradiation. Tissue reactions become manifest either early or late after doses above a threshold dose, which is the basis for recommended dose limits for avoiding such effects. Latency time before manifestation is related to cell turnover rates, and tissue proliferative and structural organisation. Threshold doses have been defined for practical purposes at 1% incidence of an effect. In general, threshold doses are lower for longer follow-up times because of the slow progression of injury before manifestation. Radiosensitive individuals in the population may contribute to low threshold doses, and in the future, threshold doses may be increased by the use of various biological response modifiers post irradiation for reducing injury. Threshold doses would be expected to be higher for fractionated or protracted doses, unless doses below the threshold dose only cause single-hit-type events that are not modified by repair/recovery phenomena, or if different mechanisms of injury are involved at low and high doses.

Abstract:

Physical engineering technology using far-infrared radiation has been gathering attention in chemical, biological, and material research fields. In particular, the high-power radiation at the terahertz region can give remarkable effects on biological materials distinct from a simple thermal treatment. Self-assembly of biological molecules such as amyloid proteins and cellulose fiber plays various roles in medical and biomaterials fields. A common characteristic of those biomolecular aggregates is a sheet-like fibrous structure that is rigid and insoluble in water, and it is often hard to manipulate the stacking conformation without heating, organic solvents, or chemical reagents. We discovered that those fibrous formats can be conformationally regulated by means of intense far-infrared radiations from a free-electron laser and gyrotron. In this review, we would like to show the latest and the past studies on the effects of far-infrared radiation on the fibrous biomaterials and to suggest the potential use of the far-infrared radiation for regulation of the biomolecular self-assembly.
